One Light Town

Verse 1

Five o'clock Friday, throwing gravel in the drive

Forty-hour paycheck and a hell of a week behind

Got a cooler full of cold ones and a girl in cutoff jeans

She's leaning out the window, looking like a summer dream

Got a little dust flying off a county road

Radio cranked up, letting that engine roll

She says, "Baby, take me somewhere nobody knows"

I just smile and say, "Girl, you already know"

Pre-Chorus

We got a full moon rising and a tank full of gas

Ain't thinking 'bout tomorrow, ain't looking at the past

She's got her hand in mine, got her feet on the dash

And we're living every second like it might be our last

Chorus

Ain't no slowing down

When the sun goes down in this one-light town

Got the tires kicking dust and the speakers turned loud

Makin' memories we'll never live without

She's got a wild side, I got a lead foot

Running through the night like we always said we would

Let the whole damn world keep spinning around

But there, ain't no, ain't no slowing down

Hook

Whoa-oh-oh

Ain't no slowing down

Whoa-oh-oh

In this one-light town

Verse 2

There's a little spot down by the riverside

Where the water runs slow and the stars shine bright

Back that truck up underneath the pines

Let the tailgate drop and forget about time

She got a red dirt heart and a whiskey smile

Makes a good ol' boy wanna stay a while

She said she don't need diamonds, don't need gold

Just a hand to hold when the nights get cold

And I ain't got a mansion sitting on a hill

But I got two strong hands and a heart that's real

If loving that girl is all I ever do

Then I guess I got nothing left to prove

Pre-Chorus

We got a full moon rising and a tank full of gas

Ain' ain't thinking 'bout tomorrow, ain't looking at the past

She's got her hand in mine, got her feet on the dash

And we're living every second like it might be our last

Chorus

Ain' no slowing down

When the sun goes down in this one-light town

Got the tires kicking dust and the speakers turned loud

Makin' memories we'll never live without

She's got a wild side, I got a lead foot

Running through the night like we always said we would

Let the whole damn world keep spinning around

But there, ain't no, ain't no slowing down

Hook

Whoa-oh-oh

Ain' no slowing down

Whoa-oh-oh

In this one-light town

Bridge

One day these roads might feel a little longer

These old hands might not be quite as strong

But if she's still sitting right there beside me

I'll keep driving 'til the good Lord calls me home

'Cause some folks spend their whole lives chasing

Something they ain't ever gonna find

But everything I ever wanted

Is riding shotgun tonight

Chorus

Ain' no slowing down

When the sun goes down in this one-light town

Got the tires kicking dust and the speakers turned loud

Makin' memories we'll never live without

She's got a wild side, I got a lead foot

Running through the night like we always said we would

Let the whole damn world keep spinning around

But there, ain't no, ain't no slowing down

Hook

Whoa-oh-oh

Ain' no slowing down

Whoa-oh-oh

We ain't slowing down
